Ferran Adrià Announces Two New Restaurants

Ferran and his brother Albert have issued a press release announcing that they're opening two new venues (connected by a corridor) in Barcelona's Flotats building: a classic cocktail bar called 41* and a tapas bar called Tickets.

The press release is dense with the usual verbiage about "creativity, ideas and hopes," but here's what we gathered from it: When Tickets opens on January 11, it'll have a seafood bar upfront -- "a place for dreams and surprising looks," and also a beer bar -- a "perfect place where we will serve a delicious golden star as bright in color as sunbathed wheat and as cold as a spring iceberg."
